A leader in high-performance RF/Microwave & Microelectronic solutions, API Technologies designs, develops and manufactures one of the world’s largest selections of components and systems for use in commercial, defense, and space applications.

AESA Overview & Applications

Active Antenna Array, Quad Transmit/Receive Module Solutions

Using a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) approach, API Technologies has developed a solution set that streamlines system integration, simplifies repair, and reduces the cost of ownership of AESA / e-scan array / e-scan radar platforms.

Applications Include:

Benefits & Features of Antenna Array Solutions

Field Upgradable

The solution elements are fully interchangeable, allowing for ease of integration and fast repair. This is in contrast to current Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) solutions, which require the entire platform to be sent back for repairs and upgrades.

Simplified Installation - No Calibration Required

Factory-Calibrated transmit/receive modules are included with the solution, so only antenna offsets need to be uploaded. This significantly speeds time to deployment.

Self-Monitoring Temperature and Cooling Options

The solution offers cooling solutions options to support a variety of platform applications. The unit self-monitors temperature and engages automatic shut down if the internal temperature reaches a critical limit.

Modular AESA Radar Solutions and Benefits

AESA is a flexible technology platform that is capable of simultaneous, multi-target tracking. Military organizations have embraced AESA radar for use on defense aviation, ground and martime platforms, missile defense programs, as well as in support of critical satcom systems.

Active Array Multi-Function Radars provide more reliability and has the ability to preform high accuracy searches, track initiation, and multi-target tracking.

Company Overview:

Originally Cobham MAL, the business group became part of API Technologies in March 2012. The AESA solution is one outgrowth of the organisation’s 65+ years of heritage developing some of the world’s most trusted high-reliability electronic sub-systems, modules, and components for high-performance aerospace and defence applications.
